Or maybe not. In fact, I think that this is likely to be my last first post.

Not because I mean to curtail my public activity on the internet. No, I hope to have the ability and desire to make my thoughts and feelings heard for a long time to come. No, it's because I believe I won't need to repeatedly search for and find an outlet to sign up with before I can do the kind of thing we call blogging or posting or tweeting, etc. I think the modes of interaction that have characterized the internet since its rise in popularity will invert and individuals will be able to initiate a communication with, well, everyone in the world, as simply as they can initiate a phone call or an old fashioned hand written letter to a friend, and still own all of their content.

How this will happen, why I think it is inevitable, and the reasons I believe it is desirable will make up a large part of my posts here.
